Produktbeschreibung

20th Anniversary Edition

This exciting, edge-of-your-seat action-adventure deals with environmental extremists, animal rights activists and international fishing rights in the always troubled waters of the Canadian Grand Banks.

ICE BREAK is the account of the CCGS "Canadian," a large, Russian-built icebreaker purchased by Canada, that's equipped with a secret navigation and weapons-control system. The highly anticipated maiden voyage of the CCGS Canadian turns into a dangerous crisis as environmental terrorists hijack the ship and use it to destroy European fishing boats.

An international crisis brews involving Canada, France, Russia, and the United States. Canadian Prime Minister Jay Carruthers, a former United Nations commander, comes up with a diabolical plan to stop the carnage, rescue the ship and avoid war with a new, ultra-nationalistic French government.

Autorenporträt

Bestselling author Kim Kinrade was born and raised in Kimberley, British Columbia, on the B.C. side of the Canadian Rockies. He put himself through the University of British Columbia - where he received a degrees in Political Science - by playing guitar and singing in lounges. During this time he recorded his first single and an album.

After graduation Kim went into music professionally, touring Canada with a showband band. During the 1980's Kim became one of the busiest pub performers in western Canada and also did a stint in Australia. Besides getting married and becoming a partner in a British pub he recorded two more singles and produced a video that aired on the Jerry Lewis Telethon.

Moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia in the early 1990's Kim continued to perform professionally at night while looking after a young daughter and infant son during the day. It was during this time that he rekindled a past-time that had been put on hold while studying at U.B.C. writing short stories. An Honourable Mention award in the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia-sponsored writing contest spurred him on to write another short story focusing on his grandfather's exploits in World War I. This was expanded into his first manuscript, "The Salient."

As well as having a long stint at one of Nova Scotia's premier resorts Kim has played in Europe, Great Britain and the United States making new fans with his unique brand of entertainment.

On the writing side Kim has penned 8 novels of which 6 have been published. He is a member of the Writing Council of Nova Scotia and has been a judge in national writing competitions.
